Vascular Surgeons
Vascular surgeons possess formalized training backgrounds in the management of vascular disease, both arterial and venous. Vascular surgeons must complete 5 years of general surgery training followed by 2 years in sub-specialty training for vascular medicine.
In doing so, vascular surgeons undergo rigorous training in the diagnosis and management of surgical disease, including endovascular, minimally invasive techniques. Cardiology and interventional radiology fellowships often work in collaboration with vascular surgery programs to provide in-depth training for trainees.
With the completion of the training program, vascular surgery fellows will be tested for ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) board certification to demonstrate their competency in the management of venous and arterial disease. This includes recognition as a board-certified expert to diagnose and treat varicose vein disease.
